Are there any good supplements that might help in my new pre diabetes numbers?
I’ve heard garlic and Berenine( sp) is okay, anyone? I’m trying nOT to go type II

“Berenine” or however you spell it, is supposed to cut down on the sugar in you blood - that has to be a good thing

Do like I did. Go to your doctor, snd attend a Type 2 diabetic class. They will be able to help you. The only dumb question, is the one you don’t ask.

Just a suggestion -- do a search for "berberine and NAC vs. Metformin for diabetes", as many people with full-blown diabetes choose to take berberine & NAC instead of Metformin to treat diabetes.

For pre-diabetes, I would suggest you do a search for "low-carb keto diet to reverse pre-diabetes", and read some of the results from that search.

Good luck.

Berberine. I’m not sure if it helps, but I’m trying it, with other supplements, too. Only because I want to lose a few pounds. My numbers are all great. I attribute that, in part, to walking 30-45 minutes EVERY DAY, and eating mostly healthy foods, though sometimes I break down and treat myself.

Easy:

Stop eating junk, stop eating restaurants.

Cook, enjoy food, end T2D.

A couple years ago my A1C rose to 7.5. Just into Type 2 territory. I refused to go on meds so I made some minor lifestyle changes.

Reduced carbs
More fish. Salmon and sardines are both good for that
quit sugary soda’s. (I miss Mountain Dew)
Field of Greens vegetable powder. https://brickhousenutrition.com/products/field-of-greens
Skip dessert
Skip fries

Last A1C was 5.2
